Rio #3

This French-language Western album pulls readers straight into the dusty rhythms of the frontier, with a beautifully rendered stagecoach bound for San Francisco rolling through a rugged mountain landscape. The art captures the scene with real atmosphere — a team of horses kicking up trail dust, snow-capped peaks in the distance, and a relay station where a character called Brandy is greeted with a cheerful "Parfaitement à l'heure!" A fine 2019 entry in the Rio series for anyone who loves their Westerns painted with patience and grit.
